West Bend's website (
http://www.westbend.com) had this
address and phone number listed. It doesn't look all that promising,
but I guess it's better than nothing:
West BendŽ Housewares
PO Box 2780
West Bend, WI. 53095-2780
(262)334-6949
For the OP, I have a Rival that I like. It doesn't seem to
get as hot as my old slow cooker (also a Rival) though, and things
take longer to cook. Since I don't use it more than a couple times a
month, this isn't a huge problem for me. I like the fact that the
crock part is removable for easier cleaning, unlike my older version.
